i was looking at an evo9 mr with minimum mods, was racier than the sti, more feedback through wheel, sharper steering, and more powerful when on boost.. but that said, off boost it sounds droney and feels like an excel.. the sti had more bottom end usable power with more displacement and fast spooling turbo and more street friendly suspension setup.. each to there own.. id have an evo as a track car hands down but ill live every day smiling with the sti around town

Do you reckon the chance an 06 sti has more bottom end is due to the fact it has an extra 500cc in capacity?

Anyhow, heres an unbiased review

All depends on your needs.

From someone who has owned both, If its going to be a daily with the odd track work I would go STI.

The evo will shit you to tears as a daily, poor turning circle, fixed height seats, shit factory clutches, no cruise unless optioned, povo interior, blah blah blah.

If its weekend warrior and track work then the Evo is what you want. Putting up with its faults on the weekends piss easy, doing it everyday is a PIA.
